I need a solution
Hello community,
I've got a few questions regarding the product "Symantec Encryption Desktop Professional" that I haven't been able to conclusively sort out via the information provided on the product websites and in the downloadable resources. Hopefully, someone can help me out:
- 1. If I encrypt an external HDD with the tool, can that HDD then only be read again on that specific computer or is there some sort of portable viewer program that can be used to access the data on any other computer?
- 2. Related to question #1: If there isn't such a tool and as a result a second installation on the second computer is needed, does that mean that two separate licenses have to be acquired or is it allowed to use one license for both installation if it is ensured that only one is active at any given time?
- 3. I am at a loss finding the distinct differences between the "Professional" and "Corporate" version of the product. Can anyone point me to some sort of comparison list/chart or can quickly outline the main points?
- 4. Can the product handle SingleSignOn, meaning that I only have to enter one password on computer startup in the PGP boot screen that will then automatically be passed to the OS (Windows 7) as the logon password for the windows account? I think I read somewhere that it (at least was) possible, but just wanted to verify, especially since I wasn't able to get it working with the trial version so far.
- 5. Does the product work with finger print sensors that some new laptops have (e.g. Lenovo W520)?
Thanks for your support in advance!
